On the surface, he looked rough and arrogant, but in fact he was also a very wealthy man. But he never expected that he would make such a sudden turn of events.
It's fine if the other party doesn't take the opportunity to win over him. If he does this in public, it will make him, the commander-in-chief, unable to step down. It is tantamount to openly defeating him. Isn't this a deliberate enmity?
What on earth is this boss thinking...
Not only was the commander-in-chief caught off guard, but even the top five leaders couldn't help but look at each other. They had anticipated various possibilities, but not this one.
There was such a big rift between them, and the high priest actually showed his favor to Lin Yi in person. How could this be possible?
Regardless of the old man's appearance as a kind-hearted elder, he seems to make people feel like they are at peace no matter where they are, but in fact, in terms of ruthlessness and viciousness, this man is definitely the one who stands at the top of the entire sea.
If Zhang Xiangding and Lu Yangzhong had not been killed, Lin Yi might still have been attracted by his overtures.
But now, the two sides have long been incompatible with each other, and there is no room for maneuver. Even if the high priest himself doesn't care, the rest of the priest family will not be able to care about it either.
What's more, even if he really takes the initiative to show his kindness, it's still unclear whether Lin Yi has the guts to accept it.
You just killed two of someone else's cronies, and they actually greeted you with a smile. Who else would you think of it?
Once again becoming the focus of the audience, Lin Yi smiled leisurely: "Sure enough, the high priest is the one who understands Lord Poseidon best. He is convincing, so I would rather obey his orders than respect him."
"Thank you, King of Offshore. I haven't seen an outstanding young man like you for a long time. I wonder if you can go to my priest's hall and let's sit down and have a chat."
The high priest's words once again surprised everyone.
Although this person is approachable, I have never heard of him taking the initiative to invite anyone. Lin Yi is just a newly promoted offshore king, but he actually has such a reputation?
"Be careful of fraud."
Mrs. Qing quickly took the initiative to send a message to Lin Yi’s spiritual consciousness.
After today, everyone will realize the value of Lin Yi. Winning over Lin Yi is also his established strategy and must not be missed.
If Lin Yi really loses control and joins the high priest, then their situation will be difficult.
Lin Yi looked at her and replied calmly: "I know it well."
"Then please."
The high priest turned and left without saying a word.
Lin Yi smiled and bowed his hands to the first five people, and told Hou Mohe who was waiting aside: "I will leave all the matters here to you. I will see a complete guard camp later."
"clear."
Hou Mohe was still neither humble nor arrogant, but the look he looked at Lin Yi was obviously more solemn, and he was obviously impressed by his performance just now.
Although Lin Yi's weight is far from being able to compete with the huge priests and walking families, or even comparable to the weaker commanders, in the long run, he has the potential to grow into the fourth pole of the Poseidon Temple.
possible.
Just for this possibility alone, it was worth betting on him.
Seeing Lin Yi and the high priest leaving, some of the top five walkers couldn't help but feel worried on their faces.
"He shouldn't be so confused, right?"
"It's hard to say. We have experienced the old man's methods, but he has not. It wouldn't be surprising if he really fell into the trap."
"Actually, what I'm more curious about is why the old man suddenly acted like this. Isn't he afraid that he will steal the chicken but lose the rice?"
Everyone didn't know why, and they all thought that the high priest's move must have a deeper meaning, but Lin Yi, who was the person involved, knew that there was not.
The high priest suddenly spoke for himself in public, not because he wanted to say so, but because he had to say so.
The reason is very simple. The oracle just now was issued by Li Yuanji. It was by no means an ambiguous statement about the overall situation being the most important thing, but it was directly on his side.
The oracle simply said: "Replenish the offshore royal guard camp with the temple guards."
Although the high priest nominally holds the right to interpret the oracle, there is a prerequisite, and this interpretation must be able to justify itself.
Only ambiguous oracles can give him room to operate.
With such a clear message written directly on his face, he could only convey it, without any room for interpretation.
Otherwise, once everyone demands that the contents of the oracle be disclosed, the secret will be revealed instantly.
And once something like this is done in public, then he, the high priest, will be in trouble. The walking system will definitely pursue him and attack him, not giving him any chance to struggle and react.
Even within the priesthood, there will be a huge wave of opposition.
No matter how powerful the high priest is, it cannot change the most fundamental premise. Loyal faith in Poseidon is the foundation of all priests' existence.
He can hide the truth, but the prerequisite is that the secret must not be exposed, otherwise it will definitely come back to him, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"After watching the fun, I can finally go home and sleep."
The first walker, Lang Mie, stretched his waist and turned to look at the chief commander, who had a blank expression on his face: "You seem to be very unhappy, how about we do some exercise?"
"No, no, no."
The Commander-in-Chief grinned stiffly and waved his hands repeatedly after reacting.
He had already been unlucky enough today to lose an entire temple bodyguard brigade, so how could he dare to cause trouble?
The key is that after witnessing the fight between this guy and the high priest just now, he knew very well that he was no match. Fighting against such a perverted monster would be a complete humiliation for himself.
Mrs. Qing smiled meaningfully: "The commander-in-chief is a sensible person, and we still appreciate what he did in the past."
The implication is that I don’t appreciate behavior like today’s.
The commander's mouth twitched: "Both each other."
Today's incident was essentially a test initiated by him. He wanted to take this opportunity to test the bottom line of the high priest and the top five, trying to gain more room for maneuver for himself.
After all, big changes are coming, and if you keep thinking about sitting on the fence and being neutral as you did in the past, you will most likely be the first to be eliminated in the end.
So he must seek change.
It's a pity that judging from the results, it was clear that he had hit a brick wall this time. Nowadays, the walking department and the priest department are becoming more and more fierce, and they will not leave any room for him as a third party.
The words of Lang Mie and Mrs. Qing had almost put the word warning directly on his face. If he wanted to take any action in the future, he would have to think carefully about it.
"Farewell."
Both parties tacitly bowed their hands, and then left, leaving behind Hou Maha and hundreds of bewildered temple guards, looking at each other.
